00:02:00you're back so
00:02:08you're back so
00:02:12you're back so
00:02:13Dad!
00:02:35Hey, buddy.
00:02:37What have you been up to today?
00:02:40Tell me everything.
00:02:43All right, buddy. Time for bed.
00:02:47There we go.
00:02:53Daddy, is this my mom?
00:02:56I'll be taking that now, buddy.
00:03:03Take this design, for example.
00:03:06The stone is way too big.
00:03:08It overwhelms the band, and the setting is wrong.
00:03:11It'll just snag on everything.
00:03:12My designs are perfectly fine.
00:03:15Fine isn't what couples remember on their wedding day.
00:03:18What you need to do is lower the profile,
00:03:22taper the band,
00:03:23and then add some micro-pave
00:03:25to balance the center.
00:03:31Then you have a design that's elegant and practical.
00:03:34Dean, are you going to let her just do this?
00:03:36She's right.
00:03:37The proportions were off.
00:03:39The setting would have caused many problems.
00:03:42Sylvia, I'm putting you in charge of our next major client presentation.
00:03:47Who's the client?
00:03:48The Morrison Gem Exhibition.
00:03:51They specifically requested for innovative design.
00:03:54But, Dean, that's supposed to be your project.
00:03:57Christine, we need fresh ideas.
00:04:00Presentation's next week.
00:04:04You think you can handle it?
00:04:07I don't think.
00:04:09I know.
00:04:16At Sterling Designs, we care about catering to the bride's every need
00:04:19and making sure that she feels beautiful and special on her big day.
00:04:21Exactly.
00:04:23A wedding is the bride's most important day,
00:04:26and no one wants it ruined.
00:04:28Yeah.
00:04:30Right.
00:04:31So, let's talk about the design.
00:04:32I'm thinking something unique.
00:04:35Maybe both of our names engraved on the rings?
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:39We can do that, for sure.
00:04:41What is your fiancé's name?
00:04:42Dean.
00:04:45Dean Martinez.
00:04:49You're engaged to Dean.
00:04:50Mm-hmm.
00:04:51I didn't know that.
00:04:53Yeah, I know he's the boss here,
00:04:54but maybe we can keep this between me and you?
00:04:57We don't want things to get too over the top.
00:05:01When is the wedding?
00:05:02Next month.
00:05:03And we are both so looking forward to it.
00:05:07So that's why he left me.
00:05:08For another woman.
00:05:10Dean is engaged.
00:05:12That's his secret.
00:05:13I was fooled by him all this time.
00:05:15He's going to get married.
00:05:17How can he say he loves me?
00:05:19How can he be such a liar?
00:05:20Oh, oh.
00:05:21I'm so sorry.
00:05:22Are you okay?
00:05:24Um, what's your name?
00:05:26I'm Michael.
00:05:27Michael?
00:05:28Who are you here with?
00:05:29Where, um, where are your parents?
00:05:32Michael.
00:05:33Thank God you're here.
00:05:34Dad.
00:05:37Dad?
00:05:37When, when did you have a child?
00:05:44Is Michael you and Pauline's?
00:05:47How did you find out about it?
00:05:49Just answer the question.
00:05:50Look, it's very complicated, Sylvia.
00:05:52You never told me that you had a kid.
00:05:55You lied to me.
00:05:58Sylvia, please don't go.
00:05:59Mom!
00:06:00Sylvia, today's the Morrison presentation.
00:06:13I, um, just wanted to let you know that you got this.
00:06:19Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:06:23You don't have to shut me out, you know?
00:06:29That's exactly what I have to do.
00:06:37Dave.
00:06:37How dare she treat you like that?
00:06:50You clean up well.
00:06:52Almost like you belong here.
00:06:54Still bitter I got the project, Christine?
00:06:56Bitter?
00:06:57No.
00:06:59But you should watch your attitude towards Dean.
00:07:01That's between me and him.
00:07:05Oops.
00:07:07Let me get that for you.
00:07:16If you're done here, I've got work that sticks for itself.
00:07:29Oh.
00:07:30I'm counting on it.
00:07:37Good morning.
00:07:42My name is Sylvia Wilkins, and today I will be going over the design for the Morrison wedding.
00:07:47This can't be possible.
00:08:05Oh, yeah.
00:08:06Actually, um, Sylvia and I have a little surprise for everyone.
00:08:18Before we begin, um, we'll be doing a little detour, and we'll be right back.
00:08:24You guys are gonna love it.
00:08:25This is what I'm saying.
00:08:26Hey, hey, don't worry.
00:08:44We'll find them, okay?
00:08:46Just tell me where you're gonna last saved the files.
00:08:51In the computer.
00:09:04See, there's nothing there.
00:09:05It's like the files just vanished.
00:09:07And somebody deleted them.
00:09:11We need time to find out home.
00:09:23Maybe it's time that we go back to the beginning.
00:09:27What do you mean?
00:09:27We're so sorry for the delay.
00:09:39We had a bit of a setback, but I'm pretty sure you're gonna like this.
00:09:47I'm gonna take you all back to where it all began.
00:09:50That's our wedding ring.
00:10:01I designed this ring three years ago.
00:10:04They were meant for all the expectations and happiness before the wedding.
00:10:12I designed, I designed it with the intention of representing simplicity and love, to represent
00:10:29a love that wasn't perfect, but it was simple and sincere.
00:10:34It's like I dreamed you up inside my head.
00:10:43I thought the picture perfect love was only in frame.
00:10:53Yes, I pulled you right from the page into reality.
00:10:58Feels like I'm falling deep into your gravity.
00:11:02Feels like I dreamed you up inside my head.
00:11:32Sylvia.
00:11:55Sylvia.
00:11:56Please, we need to talk.
00:11:57Don't.
00:11:58I didn't mean to bring up the past, okay?
00:12:00I just, that Sketch was the only one that I had.
00:12:04I know.
00:12:04Just open the door.
00:12:06Will you just leave me alone?
00:12:07I thought you were gone.
00:12:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:12:33I'm sorry, Sylvia, for leaving you at the altar, for everything I did.
00:12:39I never meant to hurt you.
00:12:42It's too late for your apologies.
00:12:44I don't want you close to me.
00:12:47I don't even want to see you.
00:12:48Sylvia, if I'll let you go now, I'll go crazy.
00:12:51You can be mad at me, scream at me, but please don't just shut me out.
00:12:55You think that saying all of this makes everything better?
00:12:58That it just erases what you did?
00:13:00No, no, nothing can erase it.
00:13:03But I'm still here.
00:13:04I'm still in love with you, Sylvia.
00:13:07I never stopped.
00:13:08Do you have any idea how I suffered all these years?
00:13:12How I miss you?
00:13:13Sylvia, I shouldn't feel this way.
00:13:17I shouldn't feel this way.
00:13:43I don't want to see the truth now, when the distance is so loud.
00:13:49I want to see your face.
00:13:53All my bones know their strength, I'll be brave and trying to wait.
00:14:13What's wrong with me?
00:14:22I'm supposed to rise above Dean, or at least punch him out.
00:14:26Not this.
00:14:28Morning, Sylvia.
00:14:34This night was great, wasn't it?
00:14:36Um, Dean, let's, um...
00:14:40Let's not talk about this again.
00:14:43Or bring it up to anyone.
00:14:44What do you mean?
00:14:45I mean, we can't go back to how things were, okay?
00:14:49We have to forget about whatever just happened between us, okay?
00:14:54Do you understand me?
00:14:56Sure.
00:14:57Okay.
00:14:59You have to go.
00:14:59Don't worry, Sylvia.
00:15:14Dean told me everything.
00:15:15We'll find out who stole your project.
00:15:17Oh, I know who did it.
00:15:18Who?
00:15:19I can prove it.
00:15:20Christine, will you hand over my design for the Morrison wedding, please?
00:15:32Are you crazy?
00:15:33I didn't steal anything.
00:15:35You and I were the last people that had contact before I went on to present.
00:15:38I think you know exactly what happened.
00:15:41I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:44Maybe you weren't careful enough with your memory stick.
00:15:47That's, that's funny.
00:15:52I never mentioned that I had my design saved on a memory stick.
00:15:54Usually designers will hand draw them or save them to a digital file.
00:15:58How did you know that mine was on a stick?
00:16:00Is that true?
00:16:04I've been on this team longer than anyone.
00:16:08And Sylvia's hated me from the start.
00:16:12She wants to frame me because she thinks she's above everyone else.
00:16:18She wasn't even respecting Dean.
00:16:20Like, she thinks she's above everyone else.
00:16:23I don't think I'm above anyone.
00:16:26And I don't just throw out accusations freely.
00:16:29Not without good reason.
00:16:30You already exposed yourself, Christine.
00:16:37Why are you doing this to me?
00:16:40I trust Christine more.
00:16:42To be honest, she's always been nice.
00:16:44She must be lying.
00:16:46Look at her.
00:16:46Enough.
00:16:51Dean, come on, you know.
00:16:53Drop the act, Christine.
00:16:59Catching you off guard isn't proof of guilt.
00:17:04But look at your recent submissions.
00:17:07You're near duplicates of Sylvia's early work.
00:17:10Clear plagiarism.
00:17:13Check her desk.
00:17:15And no, wait, you can't.
00:17:17Now, what else?
00:17:31I...
00:17:31I didn't mean to steal.
00:17:33She wasn't respecting him.
00:17:36I...
00:17:37I did it for you, Dean.
00:17:39Everything that I did was for you.
00:17:41Christine,
00:17:43you're fired.
00:17:46You just used my name
00:17:48to justify betrayal.
00:17:50And with a plagiarism
00:17:51and theft record,
00:17:53no reputable jeweler
00:17:54has will hire you again.
00:17:56Security,
00:17:57get her out of here.
00:17:58Hey.
00:18:14Thanks.
00:18:15I didn't expect you to be so decisive.
00:18:18I kind of expected you to go easy on Christine.
00:18:21Kindness only enables people like her.
00:18:24She almost destroyed your career.
00:18:26That's my red line.
00:18:28Well...
00:18:29Thanks again.
00:18:32Are you really not gonna talk to me still?
00:18:34Dean,
00:18:35I think it's better this way for both of us
00:18:37if we just keep it about work between us.
00:18:42Then...
00:18:43what if it is about work?
00:18:46What?
00:18:47Well, you got your USB back.
00:18:49I wanted to review the design together.
00:18:51Are you being serious right now?
00:18:52I'm serious.
00:18:54It's excellent, but...
00:18:56it's not good enough.
00:18:57Not for you.
00:18:58Technically, it's perfect.
00:19:05But that's the problem.
00:19:09It's cold.
00:19:10It's delicate.
00:19:12Precise.
00:19:13But there's no joy in it.
00:19:17No romance.
00:19:18It's a ring.
00:19:20It's not a pillow.
00:19:21No, it's a promise.
00:19:23People come to us for love.
00:19:25Not just a product.
00:19:27They want to feel something real.
00:19:31Promise?
00:19:32Do you think that I believe in that?
00:19:34I'm sorry if I lost my passion.
00:19:37And who do I have to thank for that, Dean?
00:19:43You can still feel that passion again.
00:19:46You know what?
00:19:47You're right.
00:19:48Yeah, maybe...
00:19:49Maybe I should go on a date.
00:19:51A...
00:19:51A date?
00:19:52You said I need more passion.
00:19:53You said I need more passion.
00:20:03Hello.
00:20:05Sylvia Wilkins.
00:20:06Myra, nice to meet you.
00:20:07Nice to meet you as well.
00:20:08Enjoy the exhibit.
00:20:10Hey, are you Sylvia Wilkins?
00:20:26Your designs are incredible.
00:20:29My name is Jacob.
00:20:30I'm a graduate student in forensic genetics.
00:20:32Nice to meet you.
00:20:33I didn't realize that students studying forensic genetics were interested in...
00:20:39Gems.
00:20:40Yeah, you get the point.
00:20:41I have no idea about any of them.
00:20:43Except that they're all expensive.
00:20:46So would you mind telling me a little bit about them?
00:20:50Who the hell is that guy?
00:20:52Absolutely.
00:20:55All of our gems, we actually do mine.
00:20:57We don't believe in lab growing our gems here, so...
00:21:01My thesis is on forensic genetics.
00:21:05Basically, solving mysteries through DNA.
00:21:07Which sounds serious,
00:21:07but I'm the type that can turn the darkest crime scenes into stories to make my friends laugh.
00:21:12That's impressive.
00:21:14Well, what about you?
00:21:15How do you usually work?
00:21:16Are you designers surrounded by these beautiful stones all the time?
00:21:20Oh.
00:21:20Well, I work in silence.
00:21:25I design sketches that try and capture love in cold stones and metals.
00:21:31So it's really not that exciting of a job.
00:21:35Well, there's a kind of magic in that, too.
00:21:37Transforming feelings into something tangible.
00:21:40It's like you're telling a story without words.
00:21:42Maybe.
00:21:44Or it's just a business.
00:21:45I don't buy that.
00:21:47You have to believe in what you're creating.
00:21:48Otherwise, it's just jewelry.
00:21:50Besides,
00:21:51that smile tells me you still believe.
00:21:53So,
00:21:56are you single?
00:22:01So,
00:22:02are you single?
00:22:06Hi.
00:22:07You seem to have a lot of questions,
00:22:08and I happen to be one of the organizers of this event.
00:22:11So,
00:22:12if you have any questions,
00:22:12just ask me.
00:22:15You seem like you need a rest.
00:22:16No.
00:22:16You've been working with him.
00:22:17I'm fine.
00:22:19Is he your boyfriend?
00:22:19No.
00:22:20Yes.
00:22:21He's not.
00:22:21I was.
00:22:22He's my ex.
00:22:24Dinner plans later?
00:22:25We actually have a lot of meetings
00:22:27that we can't miss.
00:22:29It sounds like your ex
00:22:30is using his power at work
00:22:32to interfere with your personal life.
00:22:34Isn't it getting a little late?
00:22:36You should probably go home
00:22:37since it's a school night.
00:22:39Because students have a little bit more energy,
00:22:41unlike some washed-up corporate has-been.
00:22:45So,
00:22:46any chance I could get your number?
00:22:49Really?
00:22:50That's your move?
00:22:51You got a better one?
00:22:52Oh, wait.
00:22:54You had yours.
00:22:55You blew it.
00:22:57You know nothing about her.
00:23:00Not yet.
00:23:01That's what dinner's for.
00:23:02Guys,
00:23:03are we really doing this right now?
00:23:05What, are we in kindergarten?
00:23:11Jacob.
00:23:16Thanks.
00:23:17Call me.
00:23:20Don't worry.
00:23:21I'll treat her better than her ex.
00:23:22Sylvia, wait.
00:23:36Look,
00:23:36I know I shouldn't have jumped in.
00:23:38I look
00:23:39pathetic.
00:23:41But
00:23:41seeing you smile at him,
00:23:43I just couldn't stand it,
00:23:44okay?
00:23:45You couldn't stand it?
00:23:46You couldn't stand that,
00:23:51but you could leave me standing alone
00:23:53in front of a hundred guests?
00:23:54If you care so much now,
00:23:55Dean,
00:23:56why didn't you show up
00:23:58on our wedding day?
00:24:01I'm not that weak girl
00:24:02you left behind now.
00:24:04So just tell me the reason.
00:24:05Were you afraid of marriage
00:24:06or did you just not love me enough?
00:24:08No,
00:24:08I wasn't afraid.
00:24:09Then why?
00:24:10Look,
00:24:10I had my reasons.
00:24:12I was falling apart.
00:24:13I just,
00:24:14I can't explain it to you.
00:24:16Still,
00:24:17after all these years,
00:24:19you say that you were falling apart,
00:24:20but that can't be the full story.
00:24:23So just give me the reason.
00:24:25You know,
00:24:26I used to dream
00:24:27every night
00:24:28that you would come back,
00:24:31whisper that you were sorry,
00:24:32that you still love me.
00:24:40And now I'll stop waiting.
00:24:42I don't want your guilt
00:24:43or your memories.
00:24:44I just want the truth.
00:24:45So either you tell me
00:24:46or I'm gone.
00:24:53Sylvia!
00:25:00There's only one truth.
00:25:01I never stop loving you.
00:25:03Do you think that I would believe that?
00:25:06You're a liar, Dean.
00:25:08Please.
00:25:09Don't go.
00:25:10I'll tell you everything.
00:25:15It's because
00:25:17I wasn't worthy of you.
00:25:19I don't understand.
00:25:21We both came from the same place.
00:25:24We both graduated from design schools.
00:25:26We had the same dream.
00:25:28We even met at a design competition.
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:31And you defeated me.
00:25:33You stood there
00:25:34with your design.
00:25:36So bold.
00:25:37So impossible.
00:25:39Everyone called it reckless.
00:25:41They also said that it was too risky.
00:25:44You were the only person
00:25:45that stood in front of all of them
00:25:46and defended me.
00:25:47You were the bravest person in the room.
00:25:51You always have been.
00:25:53It was never about our dreams
00:25:56or your brilliance.
00:25:58The problem was
00:25:59I made a huge mistake.
00:26:03And while you were rising
00:26:05and I thought you'd be much better off
00:26:11without me.
00:26:14I never thought that for a second.
00:26:16But if you keep running,
00:26:17I'm not going to keep waiting for you.
00:26:19Someone else is going to come into my life
00:26:21and I'm going to let them.
00:26:23I'm going to date them.
00:26:24Maybe sleep with them.
00:26:25Who knows,
00:26:26maybe I'll even marry them.
00:26:33Don't say that.
00:26:35Don't talk about being with another man.
00:26:38You left.
00:26:40You made room in your life
00:26:41for someone else.
00:26:42Just hearing it,
00:26:45it tears me apart.
00:26:48I know I may be selfish,
00:26:51but I can't stand the thought
00:26:53of you being with someone else.
00:26:55I can't breathe
00:26:55when I picture it.
00:26:58I know he's still hiding something,
00:27:01but when he kisses me,
00:27:03I just forget to care.
00:27:12I don't know.
00:27:18I don't know.
00:27:23I don't know.
00:27:24I don't know.
00:27:55Hey, if it's urgent, I can wait.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:21I'm sorry, Celia.
00:28:23Dean.
00:28:23I have to go.
00:28:24What's going on?
00:28:25If you walk out now, don't come back.
00:28:40I owe you the truth.
00:28:45Pauline and I dated seven years ago.
00:28:50It was short-lived, and we broke up way before you and I met.
00:28:55After a few years, when we were supposed to get married, she came back.
00:29:03She said she said she had a three-year-old son and that I was the father.
00:29:11I was shocked, and I didn't believe her until she showed me the attorney he asked.
00:29:20Look, I'll support Michael in every way I can, but I won't marry you.
00:29:31You think this is about money, Dean?
00:29:33You want to know why, Dean?
00:29:46You want to know why, Dean?
00:29:46Because he's never had a father.
00:29:48So don't expect to have a family with anyone else.
00:29:52You're stuck with me.
00:29:55I later realized that Michael's autism, it was purely because of Pauline's neglect.
00:30:04After three years with me, he talks, he plays, he laughs.
00:30:08Oh, my God.
00:30:10I'm telling you the truth, Sylvia.
00:30:12Really.
00:30:13I just don't know what to believe anymore.
00:30:16The one thing you can believe is that I didn't leave our wedding because I didn't love you.
00:30:25I left because I thought I had to take responsibility.
00:30:29So then, what about Pauline?
00:30:32What happened?
00:30:34She just dropped Michael off and vanished.
00:30:37Didn't hear from her until recently.
00:30:39What kind of mother does that?
00:30:41Exactly.
00:30:43I've raced him alone, and those years were so joyful because of Michael, but also it...
00:30:52But what?
00:30:53Extremely unbearable.
00:30:55Because I thought I lost you forever.
00:30:58And then you showed up at Sterling.
00:31:01It felt like a second chance.
00:31:04But it's too late now, isn't it?
00:31:08Because you're going to marry Pauline anyway.
00:31:12I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I had to take care of Michael.
00:31:18I had to be a father.
00:31:20You're going to marry Pauline and live a lie just to be under the illusion of having a perfect life?
00:31:29I know I sound pathetic, but I thought I lost you.
00:31:33And then you came back and I started dreaming again.
00:31:38You don't get to dream with me.
00:31:40I spent years burying that day.
00:31:44Trying to forget about the ring, the flowers, the empty aisle.
00:31:49Sylvia.
00:31:50Just tell Michael the truth one day.
00:31:52Good bye Tim.
00:31:53Good bye Tim.
00:31:54Good bye Tim.
00:31:55Goodbye, Dean.
00:32:20You're home.
00:32:22I missed you.
00:32:23Where's Michael?
00:32:25Oh, I was thinking about hiring a nanny for Michael,
00:32:31since we're doing so well financially.
00:32:33Why not?
00:32:34Someone to watch Michael while we spend more time together.
00:32:37You came back, and instead of building something with him,
00:32:40you got a nanny to do your job?
00:32:43Dean, I just want to spend more time with you.
00:32:45If you want to spend time with anyone, just spend it with Michael.
00:32:51You're such a fool, Dean.
00:32:53Michael isn't even your son.
00:32:55You've been raising a child that isn't yours all these years.
00:33:00But you've got more than I ever imagined.
00:33:02That's why letting you go isn't an option.
00:33:06Dean, just stop working.
00:33:09I can give you a massage.
00:33:10No, no, thanks.
00:33:16I saw your designer today.
00:33:19What's her name?
00:33:20Sylvia Wilkins?
00:33:24What?
00:33:24What were you doing at Sterling?
00:33:28I was designing our wedding rings, of course.
00:33:30I asked Wilkins to handle it.
00:33:32Are you out of your mind?
00:33:33I'll handle the design, okay?
00:33:35You leave Sylvia out of this.
00:33:37It's because of her, isn't it?
00:33:40Don't worry.
00:33:41She seems nice enough.
00:33:43I'll befriend her.
00:33:55My dress has to match my ring perfectly.
00:33:57You're coming with me to pick it out.
00:33:59I have work to do.
00:34:00I can't just drop everything.
00:34:02Refuse, and I'll file a formal complaint with HR.
00:34:06Unprofessional conduct.
00:34:07Conflict of interest being Dean's ex.
00:34:10You'll lose the lead on this project.
00:34:13Fine.
00:34:15I'll go with you.
00:34:16Just wait, Dean.
00:34:18She'll never stand between us.
00:34:28You know, Dean told me everything that happened between you two.
00:34:33I felt so sorry that he left you to be with me.
00:34:36Wait, Dean told you that?
00:34:37Of course.
00:34:38He told me everything.
00:34:40I wouldn't worry about it too much, though.
00:34:43He said he never forgot about me, even when he was with you.
00:34:46Miss Miller, I don't need to know the details of your entire love story to design your dream.
00:34:51Really?
00:34:52Isn't that what designers do?
00:34:57Funny how some things never change.
00:35:00You're still just to help.
00:35:02Don't worry, darling.
00:35:04Soon you won't even be in the picture.
00:35:05No, no, Sylvia.
00:35:18Honestly, are you even trying?
00:35:20This looks like something off a discount catalog.
00:35:22All of our designs are original.
00:35:24You just asked for options?
00:35:25Options, yes.
00:35:28Not mediocrity.
00:35:29This design was based after ancient filigree.
00:35:32It's really interesting.
00:35:33Shut up.
00:35:35Honestly, you make me wonder.
00:35:37I mean, it's no secret you have a talent for making men pity you.
00:35:40Is that how you got this job?
00:35:42Say that again and I swear...
00:35:43No, you can't, sweetie.
00:35:45I know everything that happened between you and Dean.
00:35:47What are you talking about?
00:35:49Dean and I are cheating.
00:35:50What do you think your clients?
00:35:52Loving couples, no less.
00:35:54But think about their designer being a homewrecker.
00:35:57I doubt anyone would trust you to design their wedding ring.
00:36:00How dare you call me a homewrecker?
00:36:03Dean and I met long after you two broke up.
00:36:06Doesn't matter.
00:36:06No one's going to believe you.
00:36:09Him and I are to get married.
00:36:11He'll be by my side.
00:36:12And you'll be alone.
00:36:15I'll design your ring.
00:36:17Just don't be too sure you can keep it.
00:36:21Oh, I'm sure.
00:36:28So, um, with everything that you have told me about your vision for your big day,
00:36:33I have considered that that might be a good pairing for you.
00:36:37What about that one?
00:36:39The one from your little exhibition?
00:36:41Seems familiar, doesn't it?
00:36:43Wait, you want...
00:36:44You want that one?
00:36:46It's a bit tacky, but...
00:36:48It'll do.
00:36:49Sorry, that one is for...
00:36:51For you and Dean's wedding?
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:54Well, that wedding's over.
00:36:55So don't you think it belongs to the real bride now?
00:36:58I wonder what Dean will say.
00:37:00Pauline, that ring looks so much better on you.
00:37:02Or you're the one that really deserves it.
00:37:05Can't you just, like, pick another one?
00:37:07Oh, darling, I can't.
00:37:08Then you're not using it anyway,
00:37:10so why not make it easy
00:37:12and you bring us that ring
00:37:14as your little gift to us?
00:37:16I'll never let you have it.
00:37:19Not as long as I'm alive.
00:37:22You really think you have a choice?
00:37:25Sylvia, you're just the ex
00:37:27that he left at the altar
00:37:29for me.
00:37:31Dean chose me.
00:37:33Dean cares about me
00:37:34more than he ever cared about you.
00:37:36Dean is a man of responsibility.
00:37:38The only reason he's marrying you
00:37:40is because of Michael,
00:37:41not for love.
00:37:42You?
00:37:44You're neither a good wife
00:37:46nor a good mother.
00:37:48I pity the life
00:37:49that you two will build together.
00:37:50What are you doing, Pauline?
00:37:54Dean,
00:37:55I'm your fiancé.
00:37:57How come you side with your ex
00:37:59over me?
00:38:00Sylvia's my designer now.
00:38:02No one,
00:38:03no one
00:38:03is allowed to hurt her.
00:38:06Not while I'm here.
00:38:11Dean,
00:38:12help me pick out the perfect dress.
00:38:14We have a wedding to plan.
00:38:17Would you just let me know
00:38:18what you decide
00:38:19when you figure it out?
00:38:20I have other stuff to do.
00:38:28You really are something, Dean.
00:38:31We're about to get married
00:38:32and you're still thinking
00:38:33about another woman?
00:38:34I told you,
00:38:39I'll give you what you want.
00:38:41Money,
00:38:42the name,
00:38:43but you need to be
00:38:44a real mother to Michael.
00:38:45That's our deal.
00:38:47And I'll stay loyal
00:38:48to the marriage.
00:38:50But don't ask for more.
00:38:52Fine.
00:38:55Now let's get back
00:38:56to the dresses.
00:39:04This wedding is happening
00:39:06and no one,
00:39:07especially her,
00:39:08is going to ruin it.
00:39:10Find that woman.
00:39:13Sylvia Wilkins.
00:39:16Teach her a lesson.
00:39:18Some things
00:39:19aren't hers to touch.
00:39:21Sylvia,
00:39:38about Pauline's
00:39:39wedding ring project,
00:39:41I reassigned it
00:39:42to someone else.

00:39:44Understood.
00:39:48Sylvia, I...
00:39:48Dean,
00:39:49we talked about this.
00:39:50You're the boss.
00:39:51I'm the employee.
00:39:52It's better for both of us
00:39:53if we just keep it that way.

00:48:55Once I graduate, we can go somewhere quieter.

00:49:08I'll just rebuild from the wreckage.
00:49:10Like I always do.
00:49:11I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:16I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:20Pauline, if this is true, then she didn't just try to hurt Sylvia.
00:49:35She wanted to destroy her.
00:49:37Why are you on my laptop?
00:49:52You leaked this.
00:49:54You did this to her?
00:49:56Dean, that's not true.
00:49:57And what am I supposed to believe in?
00:49:59I was desperate.
00:50:01You were slipping away.
00:50:02Every time you looked at Sylvia, I saw it.
00:50:05I just wanted her gone.
00:50:08Stop lying, Pauline.
00:50:11You never loved me.
00:50:12You just loved the brand.
00:50:14The name.
00:50:15The lifestyle.
00:50:16If it weren't for Michael, I would have never agreed to this marriage.
00:50:20I didn't want to hurt her.
00:50:21I just wanted her out of our lives.
00:50:24You wanted to ruin her.
00:50:26You're going to clear her name publicly.
00:50:29You're going to tell them everything you did.
00:50:31Or you walk away with nothing.
00:50:34No marriage, no money.
00:50:36They printed a retraction.
00:50:44Full page.
00:50:45Called the article slander.
00:50:47You're cleared.
00:50:49I don't understand what changed their minds.
00:50:52It just feels like a miracle.
00:50:55Well, sometimes miracles do happen.
00:50:57People are still cautious.
00:50:59But the truth's out now.
00:51:01They're listening again.
00:51:03Prove your ability to them.
00:51:05Tonight, we unveil a new line designed by Sylvia Wilkins.
00:51:31Wow.
00:51:32Thank you so much.
00:51:34Um, I was crushed, humiliated, but I didn't hide this time.
00:51:44I chose to get up and I designed my way out.
00:51:51Thank you so much to all of you for being here and to everyone that still supports me today.
00:51:55It means the world to me.
00:51:56Miss Wilkins, we are so sorry.
00:52:18We owe you a huge apology.
00:52:19Dean Martinez, your boss, he fought like hell to clear your name.
00:52:25He even threatened to sue half of the press corps.
00:52:28What?
00:52:29Dean did all of you for being here, ladies and gents, may I have your attention, please?
00:52:39I want to thank you all for being here tonight.
00:52:43I have one final announcement to make.
00:52:45I will be officially stepping down from my position as director of Sterling Designs.
00:52:53And effective immediately, I'm appointing our new creative lead.
00:52:56someone whose work speaks for itself and whose integrity speaks even louder.
00:53:05Sylvia Wilkins.
00:53:06This was never about sacrifice.
00:53:15This was never about sacrifice.
00:53:36He left again, after doing everything for me.
00:53:49Mrs. Wilkins?
00:53:53Detective Parker, I decided to bring these to you personally.
00:53:59These documents clearly show Pauline orchestrated the smear campaign.
00:54:03She's the one behind it all.
00:54:04Wait, what is this?
00:54:08That's some leftover evidence in her apartment.
00:54:11We're not sure what it's related to.
00:54:13But if it's useful, you're more than welcome to take it.
00:54:20Good luck.
00:54:25Wait, isn't this lab right next to Jacobs University?
00:54:34You said the lab name is...
00:54:39Sylvia, that clinic doesn't even do DNA paternity testing, and we have no record of a request under Dean's name.
00:54:46Okay, so what does that mean?
00:54:48It means the documents are fake.
00:54:53It was all a lie.
00:54:55I have to find him, before it's too late.
00:55:03I heard you quit your job and handed everything over to Sylvia?
00:55:06What a ridiculous rumor.
00:55:08It's true.
00:55:10You quit?
00:55:11Are you insane?
00:55:12Nothing's changed.
00:55:18We're still getting married.
00:55:19Bullshit.
00:55:20Without your job, without your salary, you mean nothing to me.
00:55:24How dare you just quit?
00:55:25I made my own decision.
00:55:27And I made mine too.
00:55:29We are not getting married.
00:55:31And you will provide financial support for me and Michael for the rest of our lives.
00:55:35Dean.
00:55:36Dean.
00:55:36This DNA test?
00:55:42Look, it's fake.
00:55:44Michael isn't your son.
00:55:45Of course Michael's his son.
00:55:47Stop lying through your teeth just to drag him back.
00:55:50Don't listen to her, Dean.
00:55:51I went there and I checked.
00:55:53That lab doesn't even do paternity tests.
00:55:56That document is fake.
00:55:59Michael isn't my son?
00:56:03Whoa, hey.
00:56:05Hey.
00:56:06Are you okay?
00:56:13Hey.
00:56:16Dean.
00:56:21What happened?
00:56:23You're okay.
00:56:26Everything's over.
00:56:27What?
00:56:28Pauline's ex.
00:56:29He's a criminal.
00:56:32He's in jail now.
00:56:32But he's Michael's his son.
00:56:35Pauline ran away.
00:56:38She used Michael to trap me.
00:56:42Wait.
00:56:43So where is Pauline?
00:56:45I have enough evidence to put her behind bars.
00:56:51She didn't even take Michael with her.
00:56:55To her, he means nothing.
00:56:57So, um...
00:57:00Does this mean that you're single again?
00:57:03I guess.
00:57:05But right now I'm trying to be what Michael needs.
00:57:08That's all that matters.
00:57:09That's all that matters.
00:57:11You're not going to try and find a good mother for him?
00:57:15Right now there's no room for anyone else.
00:57:20Only you.
00:57:21I figured you'd never want me again.
00:57:23Why do you always have to carry everything alone?
00:57:27You cleared my name.
00:57:29You quit your job for me.
00:57:32Because I love you.
00:57:34I don't need a reason to protect you.
00:57:37I just don't want to drag you into my mess.
00:57:40You're such a fool.
00:57:41You're such a fool.
00:57:53Whoa.
00:57:54Hey.
